Adafruit Powerswitch tail 2

The Power Switch Tail II is a compact 120V 3-pronged extension cord featuring a relay board for smart and safe power control. Avoid slicing power cords with its embedded relay, activated through two screw terminals using a 3 to 12V signal.

Key benefits include switching up to 15 Amp resistive loads, ideal for controllable lights, SMT reflow plates, boilers, and home automation. An LED indicator assists in debugging, ensuring smooth operation.

The opto-isolated relay requires no external transistor or protection diode, making it safe for use with any microcontroller or logic pin. Maintain safety by adhering to rated limits, using common sense, and understanding electrical circuits. This technology offers a safer alternative to DIY power solutions.
